Accommodation & Apartments in New York

New York is the city that never sleeps, but even the most adventurous amongst us will need somewhere to lay their hat once in a while. A good way to make your stay unique is to avoid the many oversubscribed and sanitized hotels. Try a beautiful penthouse vacation apartment in one of New York’s trendiest districts or sample a real New York style accommodation rental in one of the many cool villages and suburbs surrounding this vibrant city. For those traveling on a budget, consider renting a room in a New Yorker’s apartment or a classic New York bed and breakfast . Popular districts like Manhattan and Brooklyn often have higher accommodation costs and this can be reflected in the prices of the holiday apartments in this area. A stay in some of the lesser known neighborhoods will not only save you cash but often give you a better perspective of everyday New York. Considering the vast size of the city, it is important to choose your New York apartment rental close to the attractions that most interest you.

Secrets of the city.

New Yorkers love to think they know everything about their city—where to find the best street-meat cart, how to avoid paying full price at museums, what route to take to skip traffic down Broadway. But New York City can reveal new treasures to even its most grizzled veterans. Beyond the city where we work, eat, play and commute every day lies a hidden New York: mysterious, forgotten, abandoned or just overlooked. Try rent your holiday apartment near the hidden subway station beneath city hall or a studio near the rooftop gardens at the Rockefeller Center. The gardens have been closed since 1938, but three can be spied from the observation deck. If your looking for something more contemporary then check out the Berlin Wall remnants in Paley Park, where five sections of the Berlin wall stand since 1990.

Where to stay.

New York is a city with something for everybody, every hour of every day. The high rise, the characters you meet on every corner as well as the many world renowned attractions make this city a must for all travelers. We recommend you grab a New York style hot dog and pay a visit to the Empire State Building or the Statue of Liberty, all three of these being typical New York attractions. Or perhaps take a ride over to Brooklyn and mix with New York’s ‘cool crowd’, a mix of artists, hipsters and fashionistas. You will also notice a fascinating mix of cultures in Brooklyn with their being huge Hispanic, Russian, Chinese and Jewish communities here. Even if you are not a sports fan, going to see a New York baseball game is something that could be considered ‘typically New York’, and the atmosphere alone is enough of an attraction. Aside from all of this, there are numerous events, festivals, shopping districts, world-renowned restaurants and day trips to enjoy here. Whatever you choose, you are guaranteed to find countless ways to entertain yourself in this incredible city.

New York City Neighbourhoods.

New York City is rich with diversity and you can see this on every corner in every neighbourhood. With Brooklyn becoming hipper than ever, we recommend you believe the hype and make a visit to New York City’s most populous borough. Wiliamsburg, where vintage shopping and rock clubs are among the attractions, comes highly recommended but is only the beginning. Manhattan continues to astound tourists with its typical New York City feel while we recommend a short subway ride—or walk—from Times Square, to the Upper West Side where you will find an easily accessible gem waiting to be explored. Rent your holiday apartment in queens, where we recommend you check out Long Island City. This neighborhood is dotted with turn-of-the-20th-century industrial buildings that have been transformed into galleries, museums and studios, and there's a fast-growing list of must-visit restaurants, shops and performance venues. If you prefer to choose your holiday apartment in New York in an area of peace and quiet check out Staten Island, where you can visait NYC largest forest preserve, The Greenbelt.

Big Yellow Taxi

Taxicabs are as elemental to New York as bagels and bodegas, and in the past few years, the city has seen the biggest changes in the taxi world since motors replaced horses in 1899. A first-time should always try to hail one and take a ride a couple of blocks. The cheapest form of transportation however, is public transport. Grab a New York Metro Card which grants you use to all the city’s buses and metro subway lines. As well as being the cheapest form, it is also the most efficient mode of transportation and ideal for a day of sightseeing and a night of wining and dining. It’s the fastest and easiest way between all the sights and your vacation apartment in New York

Luckily for those renting an apartment in New York, proximity to the major attractions is not a large issue, the extensive transport system is able to ferry you quickly to all corners of the city. This allows you to choose accommodation in the new York district that suits your style and general interests rather than taking the one that is close to the attractions, which unsurprisingly are usually more expensive.
